[0035] With reference to Figures 1 to 4 According to the optical structure for reducing sharpness of low beam cutoff line provided by the first aspect of the utility model, the lens 100, the reflector 200, the LED light source 300 and the baffle 400 are included, the reflector 200 is located at the back of the lens 100, the LED light source 300 is located below the reflector 200, the LED light source 300 emits light to the inner surface of the reflector 200 to reflect on the lens 100, the baffle 400 can shield part of light to form a cutoff line area on the lens 100, the inner surface of the reflector 200 is provided with the astigmatism part 210, the astigmatism part 210 can scatter light to the cutoff line area, the surface of the astigmatism part 210 is provided with patterns to constitute scattering of light.

[0036] It can be understood that the optical structure for reducing sharpness of low beam cutoff line provided by the embodiment of the utility model reduces the sharpness of low beam cutoff line by setting the astigmatic part 210 on the inner surface of the reflector 200 corresponding to the position of the cutoff line area, and the surface of the astigmatic part 210 is provided with patterns, so that when the light emitted by the LED light source 300 falls on the astigmatic part 210, the light is scattered by the patterns, the initial propagation direction and the irradiation intensity of the reflected light are changed, and after being reflected by the astigmatic part 210, the image of the astigmatic part 210 finally falls near the cutoff line area, so that the light reaching the cutoff line area is more soft and uniform, the overall brightness ratio of the cutoff line area is reduced, the sharpness of the low beam cutoff line is reduced, the visual fatigue of the driver caused by the high sharpness of the low beam cutoff line is effectively reduced, and the glare interference on the pedestrians and the oncoming drivers is reduced.

[0037] Further, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the patterns include a plurality of stripes protruding outward from the surface of the astigmatic part 210.

[0038] It can be understood that the patterns adopt the stripe form, which can simplify the design and facilitate the overall structure of the reflector 200, and further, the stripes can adopt the concave or convex form, and the concave depth or convex height of the stripes can be determined according to the actual use requirement, for example, the convex height of the stripes can be 0.001mm~0.01mm, and 0.006mm is appropriate, and at the same time, the width of the stripes can be designed with reference to the height. Such a design style can form a slight scattering of light, thereby softening the overall irradiation of the low beam lamp and improving the lighting effect.

[0039] Further, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the astigmatic part 210 is provided with a plurality of groups of stripes, and the spacing between the stripes in the same group is equal, thereby forming various regular pattern shapes.

[0040] Further, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the astigmatic part 210 is provided with two groups of stripes intersecting with each other, so as to divide the surface of the astigmatic part 210 into a plurality of prismatic parts.

[0041] It can be understood that the above design can make the patterns formed by the stripes have uniform scattering effect, and the overall processing design is simple, the appearance of the reflector 200 is neat, and the comfort of the low beam lamp irradiation can be improved. By adding the diamond pattern on the surface of the astigmatic part 210, the light reflected by the astigmatic part 210 is scattered, the light type is more uniform, and the low beam cutoff line is blurred to a certain extent.

[0042] Further, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the patterns include skin patterns distributed on the surface of the astigmatic part 210.

[0043] It can be understood that the skin texture as a microstructure design can form irregular reflecting surfaces on the surface of the diffusing portion 210, and such surface features can make the light emitted from the LED light source 300 be scattered at multiple angles when contacting the diffusing portion 210, instead of being reflected in a single direction, so that the light is more uniformly distributed when reaching the lens 100, further reducing the sharpness of the low beam cutoff line, thereby reducing the glare effect on the driver and other road users.

[0044] It should be noted that, for the pattern of the pattern, in addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, other different patterns can be designed, which can be determined according to actual conditions, and the diffusing portion 210 can also be designed in other diffusing structures, such as shielding aluminum plating, which can be determined according to actual conditions, and will not be described here.

[0045] Further, according to some embodiments of the present application, the diffusing portion 210 is a rectangular area arranged at the bottom of the inner surface of the reflector 200, and is symmetrically distributed with the center line of the reflector 200.

[0046] It can be understood that such a layout design can make the light reflected by the diffusing portion 210, and then by the imaging principle of the lens 100, so that the image of the diffusing portion 210 finally falls near the cutoff line area, thereby enhancing the brightness of the dark area above the low beam cutoff line and reducing the overall brightness ratio of the cutoff line area, thereby reducing the sharpness of the low beam cutoff line. At the same time, the mold design in the production process can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0047] It should be noted that the actual size, shape and position of the diffusing portion 210 are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be designed according to actual use requirements, which will not be described here.

[0048] Further, according to some embodiments of the present application, the inner surface of the reflector 200 has an elliptical profile or a parabolic profile, the reflector 200 has a first focal point and a second focal point, the LED light source 300 is arranged at the first focal point, and the baffle 400 is arranged at the second focal point.

[0049] It can be understood that the reflector 200 with an elliptical or parabolic profile and the LED light source 300 placed at the first focal point and the baffle 400 placed at the second focal point can better converge light and achieve directional illumination. This design method can maximize the efficiency of the light source and improve the lighting effect.

[0050] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned arrangement of the baffle 400 at the second focal point, other arrangement methods can be used according to actual needs, for example, referring to Figure 5The baffle 400 is arranged between the reflector 200 and the LED light source 300, is arranged close to the first focal point and can shield part of light emitted by the LED light source 300, thereby controlling the light distribution on the reflector 200, the reflector 200 reflects the light not shielded by the baffle 400 to the lens 100, and then the lens 100 projects the bright-dark cutoff line and the light distribution meeting the light distribution standard. Part of the light not shielded by the baffle 400 can fall on the light scattering part 210, the initial propagation direction and illumination intensity of the light after reflection are changed through the scattering treatment of the light scattering part 210, the image of the light scattering part 210 is finally located near the cutoff line region through the imaging principle of the lens 100, the light reaching the cutoff line region is more soft and uniform, the overall brightness ratio of the cutoff line region is reduced, and thus the sharpness of the low beam cutoff line is reduced.

[0051] It can be understood that, compared with the mode that the baffle 400 is arranged at the second focal point, the baffle 400 is arranged close to the first focal point to deviate from the second focal point, the energy is prevented from being totally converged on the baffle 400 by the reflector 200, the energy density borne by the baffle 400 is reduced, the hot spot region on the baffle 400 is reduced, the risk of thermal deformation or melting caused by excessive energy concentration is effectively avoided, the service life of the baffle 400 is improved, the requirement for the heat resistance of the material of the baffle 400 is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0052] Referring to Figure 6 According to the vehicle lamp, the lens 100 is connected to the front end of the main body 500, the reflector 200 is connected to the main body 500, the circuit board 600 is arranged on the main body 500 and located below the reflector 200, the LED light source 300 is arranged on the circuit board 600, and the heat sink 700 is connected to the rear end of the main body 500 and used for heat dissipation of the vehicle lamp, thereby prolonging the service life of the vehicle lamp. Since the vehicle lamp adopts all the technical solutions, the same beneficial effects should be obtained, and details are not repeated here.

[0053] According to the vehicle, the vehicle lamp adopts all the technical solutions, and the same beneficial effects should be obtained, and details are not repeated here.

[0054] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range of ordinary skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
